Joaquin Caparros has released a brief statement enthusing at the opportunity to lead Levante next season.

The former Athletic Bilbao and Sevilla Coach has come in on an initial two-year contract to replace Juan Ignacio Martinez, and is looking forward to it.

“I have much enthusiasm to immerse myself to understand the structure of Levante, the club I will lead this coming 2013-14 season and with who I arrive at full of energy and desire to work,” Caparros stated ahead of Tuesday’s official presentation.

“I am grateful to Quico Catalan and Manolo Salvador for the opportunity they have given me and for passing on their confidence in this project the moment it begins.”
